It is impossible to say that Kangxi is not moved by what he said.

Since he wants to form a sailor, with his temperament, he naturally has to calculate everything clearly. Therefore, he knows far more about the forces on the sea near his own border than ordinary ministers. Around the dignified Qing Sea area, the strongest one is actually a Westerner, how can he not feel uncomfortable? With the mind of an emperor, he actually wants to control all these things in his hands. However, he also knows that there are some things that cannot be rushed. Therefore, although Yu Zhong's words touched him a little and made him see the prospect of quickly controlling the southeast sea, he still did not agree, not because he didn't believe in Yu Zhong, but because he still had many concerns. With Temasek's importance, not to mention whether it would cause a conflict with those Westerners once it was occupied, and whether the Qing Dynasty's sailors could guarantee a certain victory, just sending a lone brigade to a place thousands of miles away from the imperial court was enough for him not to make a decision immediately. Shi Shiqi may be loyal to the imperial court, but most of the sailors in the South China Sea are Han Chinese, and if such an army is stationed in Temasek, will it still guarantee their loyalty? That's the first thing he thinks about. After all, the land of the South Seas is not the Northwest Desert, and the imperial court is really beyond the reach of the whip there.

So, he just didn't say anything about Zhong's words, but changed the topic and led the matter elsewhere.

……

Feiyanggu's nickname is "Sleepy Worm", which is really not very majestic for a general with the title of the first general of the Qing Dynasty. However, Feiyanggu obviously did not learn his lesson and still went his own way. Even in front of the emperor, he still "dozed off".

However, the emperor's words cannot be answered, let alone dozing, as long as there is still a breath left, he must also pick up the conversation. Therefore, after hearing Kangxi's question, Feiyang Gu hugged his fist at Kangxi and replied without thinking about it:

"Lord Yu alone can reach ten thousand armies, if the emperor can make Lord Yu help the slaves, the servants are willing to wait for the vacant position."

"Hehe, it seems that you value Yu Zhong very much." Kangxi was obviously very satisfied with Feiyanggu's answer, he turned his head and smiled at Zhongzhong: "Yuzhong, General An Yuan has said so, are you willing to serve in front of his army?" ”

"Ann...... General An Yuan? ”

Feiyanggu has always been in charge of the military and politics in the northwest, and there is only one Yu Zhong who meets him here, except for Kangxi and Ma Qi. This is also the reason why Yu Zhong was surprised when he came in. He saw with his own eyes that Alinga went to Fengtian to send a decree to Sabu Su to take over the position of Fuyuan General of Feiyanggu, and there was also a legend that Feiyanggu was seriously ill and could not afford to return, and it was very likely that he would be planted headlong in the West Heaven and never return. But now this large "sleepy bug" ran to the dragon boat of Kangxi's southern tour and dozed off, how can this not be surprising? Especially when I saw that this guy's figure was slightly fatter than in previous years, and he didn't look sick at all, I couldn't help but be surprised. Therefore, taking advantage of Kangxi's "announcement" that Feiyanggu was General An Yuan, Yu Zhong showed his surprise all at once. However, he was the only one who was surprised. Although it is not a secret that Sabu Su took over as the general of Fuyuan, the Qing court did not publicize it, so the other three admirals of the navy division did not know the details of this matter, they were only slightly surprised that there was a general from the northwest in addition to the general of the navy on this dragon boat.

"I had some minor problems a few days ago, and although it was fine, it was a little difficult to go to the battlefield in the future. With the emperor's holy grace, the responsibility of taking care of the northwest will be handed over to General Sabusu! Fei now only needs to be in charge of the military of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, and help General Sabusu manage logistics. Fei Yanggu saw Yu Zhong's question, smiled and explained. He and Yu Zhong haven't seen each other for almost ten years, but the two of them haven't changed much, so they recognize them at a glance, plus he has a good impression of Zhongzhong, so naturally everything is easy to say.

"The body is the capital, and Feijunmen should also pay attention to taking care of it." Yu Zhong replied with some hesitation. There are really many people in this world who listen to the wind and rain, and he estimated that Feiyanggu might have some kind of illness that could not be overworked, so he asked Kangxi to resign, but it was rumored that he was seriously ill...... He has already sent someone to prepare a "white envelope", I don't know if Fei Yanggu will be so polite to him if he knows about this matter.

"Yu Zhong, how about becoming a Sichuan governor under Feiyang Gu?" Kangxi suddenly asked again.

"Admiral of Sichuan? The emperor ...... "Transfer Lao Tzu to Sichuan?" Yu Zhong saw that Kangxi didn't seem to be joking, and he didn't care about Feiyanggu's affairs anymore, so he suddenly became a little anxious. I have been operating in the Northeast for more than ten years, and I finally have today's momentum, why do I have to mobilize it again? And it's transferred to the southwest! This Kangxi is also a little too much, could it be that this guy is still guarding himself now?

"You're not happy?" Kangxi stared at Yu Zhong and asked.

"The minions don't dare. It's just that the emperor, the minions still have a lot of things to do in Manchuria, if they ...... it now" Seriously, Yu Zhong now has an urge to strangle Kangxi. The transfer to Sichuan is not as good as the last time it was transferred from Heilongjiang to Vladivostok, no matter how you say it, it is still going around in the northeast, but this time it is suddenly jumped to the southwest. Doesn't it mean that everything must be done from scratch again? Especially important, now Hokkaido, suppressing Japan, exploring Alaska, developing warships, etc., many things have just begun, and these things have not seen the roots, how can he go with confidence? How could anyone in the Qing court be able to take over these things? Although he also thought that if the crown prince and his gang made trouble for him, he would demote or remove him from his official position, but he never thought about leaving the northeast. He was sure that as long as he did not leave the Northeast, these things would definitely be able to go on with the efforts of him, the founder of the Manchurian Naval Division, and Old Man Fei, even if they could not go as smoothly as before. For this reason, he even thought that if the prince and others sent him out, he would resign and stay in the northeast. However, he didn't expect that Kangxi would actually "do it" to him first, Ma De has already become the governor of Jiangnan, and now he is also pulled into the pass, is Kangxi really sure to control himself?

"I know you have a lot of work to do in Manchuria, but you can rest assured. Naturally, I'll have someone take over. …… What do you think of Ethana? Kangxi was obviously prepared, and seeing that Yu Zhong seemed unwilling, he immediately proposed a successor.

"Ethan?" Yu Zhong was stunned for a moment. …… Babble. How did you forget this guy? Could it be that this guy did what happened this time? Yu Zhong couldn't help but curse secretly. Isan'a, I don't know if I can say that this is a name that has almost been forgotten by the Qing court. Ever since he arrived in Ningguta, the dude had become obscure. Although the sea cuostok is not close to Ningguta, it is not far away, but Yu Zhong has not seen this benevolent brother several times when he has arrived there. The only thing he had heard of Isang's name in the past two years was that Mo Jingkai's textile factory had 20% of the old man's shares, and this guy was the only powerful person in the entire Manchuria who was willing to invest in this project. is so silent, naturally people can't notice it, how could Yu Zhong have thought that this guy would be nominated by Kangxi to take over the position of Admiral of the Manchurian Navy?

"Isana has done a good job in the past few years, and I can see that he has grown a lot in the recitals he gives me every year. It's just that I haven't been able to find a suitable position for him, so I've been dragging it out. Now that he is going to send you to Sichuan, this Manchurian sailor is just in the hands of him to take over. I'd like to see if he really has that ability! Kangxi said to Zhong again.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yi has never been in charge of the water division, and even if he takes over, the servants feel that he may not be able to take over easily. Moreover, the minion felt that it might be more appropriate for him to take charge of the Admiral Fengtian! Yu Zhong said stubbornly.

"I already have a candidate for the Admiral of Fengtian, so Isana can only take over the post of Admiral of Manchuria for the time being. As for you, although the Admiral of Sichuan is not as important as the Admiral of Manchuria, he is the backyard of all things in the Northwest, and you must not take it lightly! Kangxi said again. The implication is that Yu Zhong's transfer to the post of Sichuan Governor has been confirmed, and he is not allowed to say anything at all.

"Lord Yu, the emperor has high hopes for you. The country of abundance in Sichuan, such as the rebellion of Tiantianhui has just been pacified, and it is your opportunity to show your skills. If it weren't for your all-round civil and military talents, who showed quite good governance ability in Vladivostok, such a heavy responsibility, the emperor would probably not be willing to hand it over to you! Don't let down the emperor. Gao Shiqi also interjected.

"In the hands of Lao Tzu? Then why don't you let Ethan go there? Yu Zhong secretly despised Gao Shiqi, but he also knew that Kangxi had made up his mind, and if he was unwilling, he would definitely leave a bad impression on Kangxi, which would be greatly detrimental to the future, so he had to kowtow and take over.

"Hmm!" Kangxi was very satisfied with Zhong's performance. In fact, he did not have any doubts about the Chinese gang. In the past ten years, the performance of Yu Zhong and his gang has been enough to make him trust. It can be said that in terms of ability and "loyalty", Yu Zhong, Ma De and Old Man Fei performed much better than many ministers. If it weren't for the unknown origin, Old Man Fei would definitely have no problem serving as the study. What especially makes him happy is that the three of Yu Zhong have a clear distinction between public and private, and there has never been anything cheap from the country, although he knows that Yu Zhong is not a few people who are not rare for a few small money, but after all, it is also rare, and from Yu Zhongren's pursuit of material desires, he can also be sure that even if Yu Zhongren does not have a rich net worth, he will never be a corrupt official. Coupled with the fact that the three of Yu Zhong were "brave in doing things", it made him look at him differently. Of course, several people in Yu Zhong also have such and such shortcomings, but it is precisely because of this that Kangxi will trust them, how can there be a "perfect person" in this world? And the transfer to another is not a whim for him. In fact, he had already had this in mind.

Although Yu Zhong formed the Manchurian Naval Division, and also led the naval division to win two battles, in terms of real military capabilities and naval combat capabilities, Yu Zhong is still far behind. This doesn't need to be said by others, he can see it clearly. And now that everything in Vladivostok has been on the road, it would be a pity for such a capable courtier as Yu Zhong to just spend time there. Moreover, Vladivostok is now the focus of the ministers' attention, and Yu Zhong, as the number one, is easy to be criticized, so he will think of arranging Yu Zhong to Sichuan. First, Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Sichuan, the rebellion of the three feudatories, and the rebellion of the Heaven and Earth Society made the current Sichuan a little depressed, although he also vigorously pulled out the lake and the people to fill it, but after all, it was only the beginning, Sichuan is not a prosperous place now, and sending a military attache with strong civil governance ability to go over is better than those guys who only know how to fight, at least, he believes that Yu Zhong can better win the hearts of the people there; Second, he wanted to take the opportunity of transferring Yu Zhong to the post of governor of Sichuan to end the trouble caused by Yu Zhong's attack on Japan. Although this time for many reasons, Yu Zhong was not reprimanded by the ministers of the court. However, this kind of thing has always been very difficult to say, and although most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are not in trouble with Yu Zhong now, it is the strength of these people to settle accounts after the autumn. Therefore, in order to protect such a rare courtier as Yu Zhong, it is a very suitable way to put him under the command of Feiyang Gu. There is Feiyanggu on it, if someone wants to do something to Yuzhong, they always have to consider Feiyanggu's feelings. How to say that Feiyanggu is also the first general of the Qing Dynasty, an important minister in the northwest, and among the generals of the Qing Dynasty, he has the prestige second only to him Emperor Kangxi. Moreover, Yu Zhong is also kind to the Northwest Army, he and Ma De's grain transportation is equivalent to saving the lives of countless soldiers of the Northwest Army, and Yu Zhong not only has a relationship with Feiyanggu, but he also has some friendship with Sun Sike, the previous governor of Shaanxi, plus Sabu Su...... With so many factors combined, Yu Zhong can be very easily linked to the Northwest Army. He believed that in this way, the turmoil caused by the DPRK and China because of Yu Zhong would soon subside. At the very least, some people shouldn't be stupid enough to chase after them.

……

"Your Majesty, since Lord Yu is going to be transferred to Sichuan, I'm afraid it will take a while for Lord Isanga to take over, so can the warships of Vladivostok be temporarily transferred to some ......?"

Kangxi and Yu Zhong had just finished speaking, and Lan Li actually mentioned this matter again with a sneer. What he meant was that everyone present also understood that since Kangxi transferred Yu Zhong, a "familiar hand", and also found a "new hand" like Isan A to replace him, indicating that he wanted the Manchurian sailors to survive for a while, wouldn't it be a pity that dozens of warships were idle? So, let's split it.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. I have my own opinions, and I won't let you wait! Kangxi smiled at Lan Li soothingly and said.

"Then the emperor, you can hurry up!" Lan Li whispered another word before retreating, showing full tenacity, which made many people feel a little funny about this old man. Even Yu Zhong, although he was still sulking, he had to secretly admire the old guy's "persistence".

"Old man Lan, don't you want to eat alone." Wan Zhengse naturally saw Lan Li's performance, he couldn't ask Kangxi anymore, so he could only glare at Lan Li fiercely, and showed what he meant with his eyes. However, Lan Li obviously didn't buy his account, he just rolled his eyes at him, looking like he didn't have the same knowledge as you, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.

"Hehe......" Kangxi also saw the eye battle between Wan Zhengse and Lan Li, and felt a little funny in his heart. He recruited the four major sailor commanders this time, except for Yu Zhong because of the reason for the battle, the others were just to inquire about the progress of the formation of their respective sailors, but now it seems that he will have to wait a little longer. Otherwise, these people will definitely be the "grievances" of Yishui again, and I am afraid that they will not give up if they do not dismantle the Manchurian naval division. However, he didn't expect that Wan Zhengse and Lan Li both had something to hide from him, and it was all one thing, that is, the Fujian Navy Division was preparing to kill Kyushu, and the boat was just to enhance his strength! It's just that this matter hasn't really been put into action yet, and secondly, although Wan Zhengse competes with Lan Li, he doesn't dare to do things like "people and gods are angry" like blocking people from making meritorious contributions and making small reports, not to mention, he wants a boat mainly to be able to take the Fujian sailor's downwind boat to Kyushu to get some benefits. Therefore, although the two people quarreled on the surface, they still tacitly did not reveal their shortcomings. As for whether the fight against Kyushu will cause anything, it will be just a piece of cake. Compared with Yu Zhong, although Lan Li doesn't have so much knowledge, his foundation is much more solid, and there are only a lot more flowers, not to mention, there is also a Ryukyu in the middle to shield the arrow, coupled with the inauthentic behavior of the Japanese envoy this time, he has a reason to be a brother and afraid of a bird?

……

"Your Majesty, the minion has a small request, I want to ask for your permission!" Yu Zhong suddenly said to Kangxi again.

"What's the matter?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, you also know that the slave is like a brother to Ma Dena. Ruren, my brothers and I haven't seen each other for more than five years, and besides, the slave just heard that the kid is going to have a queen, so I want to stop by to take a look......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hehe, no wonder Ma De has not yet arrived in Jiangsu to prepare to take over. I see! Ha ha...... Well, you can follow me to Jiangning, and then go up the river to Sichuan to take up your post! Kangxi smiled.

“…… Slave thank you lord Longen! Yu Zhong kowtowed and thanked him.

……

"One town is the head of the river, one guards the tail of the river, the emperor is really fond of these two people!" Gao Shiqi looked at Yu Zhong, then at Kangxi, and said secretly.
